    Hazelmeier Case Summary

    The majority opinion on this case supports that T.M. in his claim that the city ordinance is unconstitutional. I agree with this because it’s not fair, even though it was created to protect the people in the city. The ordinance isn’t specific enough to go after crime related activities in the community. I believe that minors should have the same rights as adults, which is why I disagree with the ordinance. Finally, I also believe that a city curfew interferes with parents trying to set rules for their own children to follow.…

    Katie's Case Summary

    Katie is a 35-year-old professional woman, wife and mother of two small children. Katie was first introduced to pain medications after a car accident left her with an injured lower back. The pain medications she took, began a neurobiological response in Katie’s brain that she had no control over. Narcotics take aim at the brains reward system, saturating it with dopamine, giving the user a feeling of pleasure (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2). Katie’s brain began to acclimate to the dopamine surges. Which in turn, the brain generates less dopamine and or decreases the dopamine receptors. This made Katie use more and more drugs, to continually try and attain the dopamine high (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p. 2) Brain imaging studies show that areas of the brain that regulate judgement, behavior control, learning and memory are affected by drug addiction. These changes create the abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively (“Drug Abuse, Addiction, and the Brain,” n.d. p.1). This began Katie’s addiction to prescription pain medications.…

    The Terri Schiavo Case

    The Terri Schiavo case is very disturbing to me. I understand a family choosing to remove life support when someone is determined to be brain-dead but removing a feeding tube seems like a whole different issue. Essentially, a person is being starved to death. I realize that Terri Schiavo was basically in a vegetative state, but it still seems like a harsh thing to do. I have mixed feelings on this topic in general. I can’t even begin to imagine how her parents felt, especially since they were opposed to the feeding tube being removed.…
